Make the Pavilion Building in Cherry Tree Wood Safe
Liaise with the leaseholder of the pavilion building in Cherry Tree Wood (East Finchley) and make the site safe.
Why is this important?
Barnet Council leased out the pavilion building in Cherry Tree Wood several years ago. Since then there has been very little progress on the renovation work undertaken by the leaseholder. Furthermore, the building was left in an extremely unsafe condition, with totally inadequate fencing around the site. It has become an urgent health and safety issue. In addition the dilapidated building has been attracting anti-social behaviour, followed by a serious crime in the wood in 2016. Previously the area was extremely safe.
Cherry Tree Wood has a high number of visitors on a daily basis, (including use of the recreational facilities, school trips and school sports day events). Barnet Council urgently need to liaise with the leaseholder to make the site safe. It has totally changed the feel of the wood and the feel of surrounding area.
How it will be delivered
UPDATE: April 2017
Thank you all for signing this petition - we had almost 600 signatures in the first week (June 2016). We submitted the petition to the council in July 2016. Due to a number of factors, including your support, the building is now secured better than it ever has been. The council are now finally due to report on the building and its future on 27th April 2017. If you would like to come to that council meeting, or to be kept updated, please email [email protected]
